I really hope so, because the Corvette is quickly slipping into a more elite, "GT" class, with bullshit features, touchscreen doohickeys, HID, leather, blah blah. We need a bare-bones version people will want to take to the track and just have fun with. I would definitely go for that because I truly hate what the…

I'm not going to post links (you can Google stuff for yourself), but Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Croatia, and others  tax HP or engine size, directly or indirectly. Add to that far higher sales taxes (VAT can range a lot), the difference in cost of living, cost of gasoline/petrol, and suddenly a…

American muscle/pony cars  make absolutely no sense in Europe. In many countries, they are taxed by engine size (and even HP), and the import tariffs can be crippling. One could end up paying 3-4 times the amount they sell for in the US market. In the US, they are sold as affordable alternatives to exotics and taxes…

Oh Chevy, you had so much potential. You missed it by ____this____ much. Back in 2010, the Camaro was fresh and cool but then you messed it up with the new corporate bowtie steering wheel in 2011, and now...this. Looks like you did your research with sensible focus groups, which explains the lack of a MT and the…

This is like when my wife starts a fight with me and tells me to "drop the subject".

I can verify the awesomeness of this little utility, which I've been using about 4 months now. The Win 7 taskbar's default behavior is annoying - I detest thumbnail previews, and I hate the "show desktop" icon being way out to the right. This will let you set it more like XP/Vista (which I am not ashamed to admit I…

So basically, max out all settings and see if it works, if not, back some of them off.

I think bands with bassist chicks are cool.

Just to thrown in my 2¢, I hated this layout so much that it actually deterred me from buying the Civic - it wasn't that the speedo was digital, it was the fact that it was visually on a completely different plane than the tach, and quite ugly at that. In fact, everything about the gauges (and the whole car, really)…

There are certain things that should never be digital: watches, blenders, guitars, and CAR GAUGES.

Aye.

If there is no clutch pedal on the floor, it's an automatic. Just because you can manually shift an automatic does not mean it's a manual. DSG and almost any other "automated manual" transmission has a full-auto mode, so it's an AUTOMATIC, not matter if it's a "daul-clutch" doohickey or it has a stator... Got that?…

I don't think you understood the question.

I hear a lot of complaints....but 280 lb-ft of torque. Damn.

Stupid CAR with a stupid name, and yet another attempt to create sensationalism in the automotive press. 500 hp to the front wheels would not end well. When I first saw this, I was sure it would be AWD, maybe some competition to the STi/Evo. Nope.

"Liters per 100km (l/100km) is a much better measurement."

You could pick up 2 Corolla sedans for this money. Or, add ~$3,495 and get a brand new Nissan Versa with a warranty and everything.

In the same vain:

#9 - Oversimplified. OD allows you to go faster if you run into the redline, and it depends on your engine's power curve, top speed, and speed limiter.
